Chapter 129: Benefits of being a subordinate? (2)

"Honestly, even I don't know. You may not know this, but my father is one of the most powerful men in the World. He, too, was an Heir in the past, who failed to complete the mission and failed in his journey to Vampiric Limbo. He, too, has special and different abilities and occasionally makes strange decisions that no one understands, not even me or my brother." She replied and smiled slightly.

"If you saw Dawid Lewis and his strange and unexpected decision to give you such a high rank the first time around, something like that is my dad. After all, Lord Dawid was one of my father's subordinates when he was Heir."

"He was a Subordinate?" Matt asked in shock after hearing this.

Was the King, one of the most powerful beings in the world, a subordinate of Gray Allen? He thought, and Alice nodded.

"That's right. Most of the Kings come out of there. That's why he respects me more than usual," she replied.

Matt looked at her open-mouthed, not knowing how to react.

'The King was one of his subordinates... What level of power could Gray Allen have?' he thought.

Still, he knew he couldn't get an answer to that question right now.

So he diverted his thoughts to another of the topics Alice said.

'Alice means that it is possible that Lord Gray chose me, perhaps because he saw or sensed something with his ability...' He thought.

It seemed that things were more complicated than he thought, but the truth was manageable.

Nothing should go wrong as long as Allens and he are not enemies. Besides, he has just been appointed a Bloody Vampire General and placed under a bloody oath. According to what the King told him, this position cannot be overthrown once it is issued. Therefore, if something were to go wrong with the Allens, he still has a new status to rely on.

The thing is, Matt knew that Alice understood this fact because she pressured the King to give him a position when she could very well grant him one within the Family, just as most heirs did to avoid the betrayal of the subordinate.

But she did not do that.

Why?

The rest of the benefits of being a subordinate you will find out slowly." She replied as she started walking towards the door.

Matt looked at her gait and smiled.

'She's nervous, huh.' He thought as he watched her walk out.

Still, he didn't pay much attention and just looked at the sky.

He needed to think about many things, but this time, he decided to leave it for later since he needed to meet with the King as soon as Isla's consecration ceremony was over.

That was why he immersed himself again in research for a long time.

After a few hours, he got up and walked to the balcony for fresh air.

Just then, he noticed Isla coming walking at a fast pace while wearing the official attire.

'She finished her consecration, huh.' He thought.

As she was coming this way, several people greeted her when they saw the kind of dress she was wearing and stared at her as she ran past them.

"Hey, since when did such a beautiful young woman appear among such high ranks? She looks like she's 20 years old, and she's already a Brigadier General?"

"That's absurd, who is that woman?"

Conversations behind her multiplied back and forth, but Isla ignored this.

She looked up, hoping to see Matt's room, and she didn't expect to see Matt looking at her.

She smiled as soon as she saw him and started running faster.
